Nicola Di Iorio and Charles Wagner Quoted in an Article on Cannabis in La Presse+

January 30, 2018

The expertise of Nicola Di Iorio and Charles Wagner, employment and labour law experts at Langlois lawyers, is highlighted in an article in the online newspaper La Presse+ entitled “Légalisation du cannabis, être high au travail?“ (Legalization of cannabis: high on the job?).

Nicola Di Iorio is quoted as saying that there are serious road-safety concerns about legalization, particularly in the trucking industry, as there is currently no reliable means to test for recent cannabis use, which is not the case for alcohol.

Charles Wagner explains in the article that while businesses are not quite ready for the coming into force of the new legislation, management is taking steps to get all the information they need before the law is implemented. He also provides some tips to management on how to deal with this new reality.
